LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN
Sound Check: White-bread alternative (Jonathan Richman, Barenaked Ladies), and hip establishment (Tony Bennett) with a live feel, which means the sound mix is often muddy — just like in a garage!
Couch Time: Conan prefers the Letterman-style walk among band members while dispensing thanks to them.
Sample Host Patter: "Folks, fans, and critics have enthusiastically embraced Wasteland, the debut album by my next guests... Dig!"
Verdict: With Arsenio gone, Conan's willingness to explore the musical fringes makes him the new king.
